looking for a more efficient speaker.....


some thing with a higher then my current rated 86 alon IV.  something more easier to drive.  i love the way the sound but i have to drive them at 1-2 oclock to get the best sound and then you start to hear the strain.   let me know, i dont have big pockets so keep that in mind, plus i like floor standing types.

jjs49,  welcome back.  to get you up to speed.  talked with robt lee with acoustic zen, sd that if you tighten the locking screws on the interconnects to tight it will cause you to have headroom and clarity or sound issue as it were.  i tried it and it worked.  i do have a lot of locking interconnects.  loosen them all, also keeping them away from each other as well does wonders for the sound quality as well.  the sound now is what i thought i brought this system for.   

pdspec never heard of them, will look into them.

akg have heard the tonnoy's a while back, did like them

sbank, thanks for that tip, karl got me on that one.  had me send my woofers to hm and he sent them to miller sound.  never forgive him for that. 

jond which ones used the alinco magnet.  karl called hisself selling me some but i think he got me again.  what do they look like.

acoustic zen wow II for the amp to pre and pre to cd player everything else is audio ar interconnects

 

soix the issue is clarity not power, i went thru this with my wifes cj mf2500a and jeff told me to have it svcd.  its still not broken in yet due to my wife dont play it much and health concerns. it just might be this tube though. i notice i have good days and bad days with these stock 6922's

s bank you might be on to something,  but i talked to steve mc and he said he doesnt think it needs svc yet and i dont have problems with my ears so....

 

kennyc   hell yeah, small to avg size room in the basement, hearing loss what did you say

oddiofyl   you would think.  have talked with steve mc, jeff at cj and other chief designer/owners i could about this.  i know when you start turning it up you lose a certain amount of clarity.  but i like to hear everything.

 

soix  also i talked with dr lee at acoustic zenn, ask if there could be a problem with the wow II's since i got rid of the tara labs for the same reason.  he told me not to tighten the interconnects to tight this will alter the headroom and clarity and he was right, just fyi.......

 

ditusa  i loved jbl back in the day,  the l or t100's were great. and i do remember the alinico magnets days 

rodge827 dont know right now but it will have to be used.  looking at sonus fabre, vienna acoustics, dali, aerial......

sbank if you no longer use alon what do you have now....

curiosjim    rather low, i have enough equipment

ozzy, i talked to jeff at cj and steve at mccormack, said not yet

lanx dont like 2way speakers....

soix  glad i could help you....

 

sbank, went thru that with Karl a while back and he like so many dont like to suggest gear....

had a long talk and science lesson from the guy at atma sphere, can remember his name.  we talked extensively about the need for a more efficient speaker and how beneficial it is....

to all, since ive untighten the screw on those type of interconnects the sound has been alot better.  i have one or two other that has that type of configuration ill change those as well....keep you posted.

 

soix    did you try that and how is it working for you.   that and moving the wires and interconnect away from each other works wonders.  made sure i dont have anything touching the carpets too.......
